Granville Christian Academy's multi-talented senior was spiked just before he got to the finish line of Saturday 110-meter high hurdles finals at the Lakewood Invitational. It opened a gash above his knee, but the big thing was, he crossed the line first.

Law won in :16.95 and also won the long jump with a leap of 19-3.75, helping the Lions finish sixth out of 13 teams with 60 points. Fairfield Union won with 115 and Newark Catholic was second with 90.5.

He also anchored the third-place 400 relay team (:46.93) of sophomore Nico Pagnanelli, senior Noah Stump and junior Collin Packham, and ran fourth in the 300 hurdles (:44.47) to score 25.5 points.

"It was my first (110) race of the season, but I have the mindset down," Law said. "I was a little fatigued at the end, which is how I got spiked. I want to get down under my PR (:15.83) and get to the regional or state. I'm way ahead of where I was in the long jump. Last year, my first meet was 16 feet and last week, it was 19-3. My PR is 20-3 and it's definitely a goal to make the state. This year, I can do it."

Coach Ellis Gallion makes no bones about it. He thinks Law can make the Division III state meet in three events.

"This is only his second meet in the 300 hurdles, and he's already running 44 (seconds)," Gallion said. "If he can drop it down to 43, he'll get there. Last year, in the long jump, he ended in the 20s, and if he just fixes his steps, he can get to 21

"He has a good attitude, He's super intelligent. He's easy to coach."

Gallion is also excited that Law's younger brother Ian, more of a middle distance specialist, is just a freshman. He finished third in the 800 at Lakewood (2:08.53) and anchored the third-place 1,600 relay (3:44.8) of junior Nick Wilford, sophomore Jack Pickerington and sophomore Cameron Atteberry. He also anchored the sixth-place 3,200 relay (9:55.4) of senior Owen Adkins, junior David Blacksten and freshman Zac Chetnick.

Pickerington ran third in the 400 in :55.6 and junior Dom Nutter was fourth in the discus (127-8.85). The 800 relay of Wilford, junior Ethan Lilly, Stump and Pickerington was seventh in 1:42.6.

On the girls side, GCA's girls placed 10th out of 13 teams with 14 points. Fairfield Union won with 126 and Northridge took second with 102. Newark Catholic was a close third at 100.5.

The 1,600 relay team of sophomore Avery Adkins, senior Hannah Duty, senior Katie Keiser and sophomore Olivia Close placed sixth in 4:58.3. Junior Mackenzie Howard was sixth in the shot put with 27-1.25.

Finishing seventh were Keiser in the 1,600 (6:11), freshman Audrey Swonger in the 100 (:14.29) and the 400 relay (:58.5) of Adkins, Close, freshman Maddie Abbati and Swonger.
